Calcium supplements

Hi,

Thanks for the information.

The pain you have in the things at the hip joint for sure is due to osteopenia. Hydrocodone is one of the best for pain management.

I would recommend you to take calcium supplements along with Vitamin D for better response.

Since its a site involving the attachments of proximal muscles, providing it rest now and then would help.
